When Q3A says it doesn't support OpenGL, it meand you don't have drivers for hardware accelerated OpenGL. To solve this, you should install the lates OpenGL drivers for your card. You can probably find drivers on the manufacturers site, or on the Q3A cd (GLSetup - only works on Win9*).

If you have an older card, it's very likley your card doens't have hardware acceleration at all, and the only thing to to then is to buy a new card.

Dear Answerer!

To solve this, you should install the lates OpenGL drivers for your card. You can probably find drivers on the manufacturers site, or on the Q3A cd (GLSetup - only works on Win9*). this was from your reply...

Well I tried to run the GLsetup and I have win 98...It says that your card is not supported...The vendor says that it is a 3d accelerator card...I want to know that is there any site wfrom which I can download the opengl drivers for S3 trio 3d/2X card ? Is there any help availaible on opengl.org ?

What shoould I do http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/frown.gif ?

I have this information on my card...See if you can get any help from this ... http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

If GLSetup says it's not supported just means than GLSetup doesn't have any drivers for your card. But since most manufacturers that provides OpenGL support adds drivers to GLSetup, I would say that you might get some trouble getting drivers.
